COURSE OF VOLUNTEER IN TRIAL RACES.
she will carry on the day Of the great race,
with the exception of her new mainsail,
which is trifie lighter and larger than
her old one. 1t Is safe to predict that she
will not greatly exceed her performance OF
that day when she sails against the This
tie. The friends Of the Thistle declare, in
eXcusing her work, that she was not
in racing trim. Her bottom was not
clean, she lowed dingy astern and she
carried two more boats in her davits. In
addition to this, the Thistle carried a
smaller jib than she usually does in such
weather, and a man who was on board OF
her ut the time asserts that she was hin
dered very much by the boats that hung
in her davits.
A gentleman, who is yachting editor OF
prominent Scotch journal, writes to The
New York World lengthy letter in which
he says that in his twenty years yachting
experience he has never seen any vessel
burst so much broken water as the Volun'
teer did on the day of the trial race. He
even goes so far rs to say that the Anchor
line steamship in which he crossed the
Atlantic did not make such row even
in gale of wind. This seems to be
putting the case rather strongly in view
of the fact that the clean wake Of the
Volunteer has been expatiated on ever
since she has been launched. He declares
furthermore that the Thistle is nc
American invention, but is the
outcome of the latest revision OF
the British yacht racing rule OF
measurement Mr.. Watson, the de-
sgner, has, he says, designed a new type
of British yacht, and by fortunate guess
work has hit off fast boat. The interest
ing fact remains however, that the Thistle
closely resembles American models.

The Yelled Prophets organization was

"Mystick Krewe" OF New Orleans and
similar organizations In other southern
cities. 1t Is u secret institution, but, as Tar
az is known, its membership includes all

organization, realizin. a return in the

street, afterward participating In the

The ball ~ free, too, but 1t In free only TO
those who have received Invitations from
the Prophets. As invitations are obtain
able only through members OF the organ
ization and rs its membership is a pro-
found secret, IL Is not an easy thing for
those who have not been voluntarily
favored to obtain tickets. This year there
will be fewer tickets for distribution
among the people Of st. Louis than there
have been before, because the visit OF
President Cleveland and his wife will
bring 10 tho city an enormous influx OF
visitors and the strangers must be cared
for first. The Prophets will prepare
special reception for the president and his
party, and the hall will be decorated with
special designs in their honor.

past years have very nearly exhausted the
supply. There are twenty-five floats In
the procession each year, and 1t IL difficult

Garden Of Eden, the killing Of Abel by
his brother Cain, Abraham's offer OF his

turned to Europe in 1862, having received
the warmest praise for the part he took in

In 1871 the count was admitted as a
member of tho National assembly at YER

voted the restitution of the property Of

Aug. the count had his celebrated inter

he acknowledged rs the head OF the royal
house Of France.
The count is the author Of several other
remarkable papers. In 1879 he published
an article which was translated under the

attention at the time. He is also the

On the night of Tuesday, Oct. 4, the
mysterious order Of Yelled Prophets will
give at ST. Louis what the herald OF the
order is pleased TO proclaim It's grand
nocturnal pageant and ball" The Yelled
Prophets and their pageant are among the
standard attractions OF st. Louis during
the autumn. This year they celebrate
their tenth anniversary with parade
which II is promised will exceed In mag
nifcence anything they have hereto
fore presented. The Yelled Prophets
pageant consists OF series OF Floats or
moving stages on which are arranged
interesting tableaux. Each fioat Is drawn
by four horses, covered by long blankets
on which are err broidered the letters W.
Piled by four mysterious individuals,
cloaked and masked. Each Is brilliantly
illumined by tho colored fire from dozens
OF torches borne by attendants on either
side. At intervals along the line Of the
procession are bands OF music. In front
Of each float Is carried u banner bearing

the tableau on it. At the head OF the
column rides u platoon OF police. The
scene on the streets during the passage OF
the pageant Is strange and extremely inter-
esting. Along the line OF march tho streets
are brilliantly illuminated. Long waving
lines OF fire on either side render the scene
almost as bright as day. At short intervals
arches OF colored fire span the street, while
special designs Of flaming gas jets cover
the fronts Of business houses and from
convenient points there are private dis
plays of pyrotechnics The street Is
packed almost to suiIocation with slow
moving humanity, while every side street
is blocked with carriages and wagons used

AS the brilliant procession moves along,
the sea Of humanity parts before 1t and
closes in again behind the last float.
Handkerchiefs are waved from open win
dows to the characters on the floats, who
respond to the salute with some charac-
teristic gesture; flowers are scattered be-

VOLUNTEER AND THISTLE
THE DISCUSSION WHICH THEY Ex-
CITE IN YACHTING CIRCLES.

Companions Detwesn the Two Yachts.
What = Scotch YachtsmAn Thinks About
the Mattsr-Ths Thistle Not Bulls After
American Models.
There never has been such heated dis
cussion over the comparative merits OF
two yachts ~ the debates now going on
in New York and other yachting centers
over the merits OF the Thistle and the
Volunteer. The performance Of the
Thistle in the trial race which took place
recently between tho Volunteer and the
Mayfiower, and which efIectually decided
tho superiority Of the Volunteer, has
called forth opinions Of every shade.
There can be no question that Volunteer
stock has gone up considerably since the
trial race, but the fact that on that occa-
sion the Boston boat beat the Thistle
should not furnish any reasonable grounds
for supposing that the Volunteer Is the
better boat, but at the same time the fact
that the Volunteer did beat the Thistle,
no matter what the circumstances were,
seems to have greatly stimulated conf
dence in the former boat. To sum up the
whole matter, the facts seem to be as fol-
lows:
On the day Of the trial races the Volun-
teer beat the Thistle one minute and fifty
nine seconds in nine mile race. On that
day the Volunteer was in racing trim and
carried the same sail measurement that

They are holding a centennial in York,
Pa, this year. The town was settled In
1729 by the Germans, and there the CONT
mental congress adjourned from Philadel-

1t was Incorporated in 1887. But it is
chiefly noted as the town where the
articles of confederation were signed,
on the 10Th Of November, 1777. Dur
ing the first session of the continental
congress here occurred the resignation
of John Hancock and the death of
Philip Livingstone, one of the immortal
signers of the Declaration Of Independence.
